I always fuss over my 2 little begal babies, had them for 2 years now and they are gorgeous.
My little boy Bengal had always been quite vocal especially if he is not in the same room as me (unfotunatley sometimes i do have to keep him out of certain rooms for his own safety!) but the last 2 weeks he has become increasingly vocal.
He is crying louder (and deeper – that terrible heartbreaking cry they do) and also still doing it when we are in same rooms as him all the time when he is awake. The last two nights he has also had about 10 mins in the middle of the nigth coughing (like he is wheesily coughing up phleym but nothing comes up) then afterwards (and during day) he does not cough.
The only other time he coughs like this is if he drinks from the tap which he has always done and the vet didn't think it was an issue?.
I also took him outside into the garden when it was warm 2 weeks ago on a harness as he had not been outside before.
Are these things connected? I am totally fine with his crying as it doesnt bother me but is it normal and could it be connected to his cough he has had?/going outside?
I don't want any unecessary distress taking him to the vets if it is nothing as it is VERY mild and has only happened a couple of times but its just that he is crying more too i though't i'd maybe get him checked out?.
He is also eating and looks healthy (eyes/nose etc) and his 'activity' and toilet habits are normal. .
UPDATE – Hi Autumn,
No not got any answers on this coughin after drinking from tap!!! i wonder if anyone else has this with theirs – it is v strange – I may post a message on Facebook bengal page to see ………
